Eligible federal workers must decide by 11:59 pm ET on Thursday whether to take the Trump administration’s deferred resignation offer, which will allow them to leave their jobs but be paid through the end of September.

Rattled civil servants struggled with whether to leave their posts in advance of a Thursday deadline as Elon Musk continued his push through agencies.

The Trump administration issued an email blast on Jan. 28 giving most of the country’s 2.3 million eligible employees federal workers the option to resign with pay through Sept. 30. The deadline to decide on whether to accept the offer is Thursday.

Abrupt dismissals of workers not offered the deal, along with other moves, put pressure on those weighing whether to quit.
